I feel myself falling into
darkness–emptiness–and
I reach for you for support.
But I am falling too fast.
You grab for me,
but I am already beyond
your reach as the ground
crumbles beneath me.
And I am falling through
space and time.
I hear you calling my
name from somewhere
above–or is it below–
but I can’t respond.
